Have you dreamed of spending your honeymoon on the beautiful Garden Island of Kauai? Maybe you are planning a romantic getaway for two . . . or a peaceful visit to a tropical island away from your hectic schedule at home . . . . If you would like your vacation home to be in a secluded oasis of lush, tropical foliage yet close to beaches and restaurants, this Gem of a cottage could be your ideal choice.
It is amazing how close you are to many activities, gorgeous north shore beaches, and a nice variety of restaurants and cafes. And yet, it will seem like you are on your own private island while you are at home enjoying the serenity and peacefulness of this newly and completely renovated cottage with your private dipping pool.
When you choose to venture away from your shangri-la you will find a host of modern amenities like a grocery store, post office, shops and galleries, as well as lots of activities including tours of beautiful botanical gardens, horseback riding, zip line rides, river and ocean kayaking, boat tours, snorkeling and swimming, surfing and windsurfing, fishing, golfing and, of course, sightseeing the natural wonders of Kauai, to name just a few.
You will also want to be sure to stop by at least one of the Sunshine or farmer's Markets for fresh, local vegetables and fruit to include in meals that you choose to prepare at home. There is an electric grill as well as the fully equipped kitchen where you can create your culinary masterpieces.
This charming cottage is multi-level with the loft-style master suite upstairs complete with its own bathroom. The second bedroom is also open and the walls do not reach the ceiling. It is on a different level a few steps down and also has its own bathroom. The lower level, a few steps down from the second bedroom, is the main living area with the kitchen, dining nook and living room. Sliding glass doors in the living room lead to your private lanai and dipping pool. In case you return from the beach and want to rinse off before going inside, there is an outdoor solar shower for your convenience.
If you have had dreams about your ideal tropical hideaway, they have likely been of a place just like Pali Uli 8, a true Gem in paradise.

For those, particularly couples, looking for a getaway from the rush and crowds of the resort scene, this is the place. It’s surrounded on three sides by forest, and you’re awakened each morning by the singing birds. It’s completely quiet and private.
The dipping pool is a treasure, and really helps cool you off. The air conditioning unit didn’t work, but with the pool and fans we got used to the temperature and were pleased to have the fresh evening breeze come through the open windows.
The kitchen is fully equipped and we were pleasantly surprised to find some nice-to-haves like plastic wrap. The washer-dryer unit was essential given our trips to the beach and hiking in the warmth, rain, and humidity.
The master BR is a loft and open to the rest of the house; that greatly reduces privacy inside if more than one couple is sharing, but it’s necessary for air flow, and was perfect for us as one couple.
It was very nice to have covered, designated parking, and to have a small, private community of just nine cottages. Perfectly quiet, which is so vital to rest and relaxation. If you’re looking for R&R, this is the place to stay!
We will definitely come back again to enjoy this true gem!

We had booked a place at Sealodge, then switched to the Gem. It helped us stay more isolated for noise (we couldn’t hear neighbors, and hopefully neighbors couldn’t hear our 5 year old). Place was great, clean, and had a beach trunk full of pool noodles, flippers, and snorkels. There’s more photos of the owner and their family than you’d expect, and a lot of Christian crosses, but maybe that makes guests take care of it better. Place could use a Yale code lock to avoid having to pick up and drop off keys at the rental office. The king bed was good enough, the couch feels rough to the touch- but is otherwise clean, there’s an odd stone threshold in the guest bedroom, and some gecko guano above the door frames. Overall great, would stay again.

We’ve stayed at several VRBOs, and this is one of the best! The cottage is secluded, yet is located close to stores, walking paths, golf courses, and comes complete with its own dipping pool. It’s very clean and comfortable. It’s surrounded by lovely tropical forest all the way to the ocean cliffs. The kitchen is tight and the drawers packed a bit too full of kitchen items, but very doable. If we ever come back to this part of Kauai, we would choose to stay here again. Mahalo for the experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the “Gem.”
Lots of peace and quiet tucked away in a lush neighborhood setting, across from a golf course. The car was seldom needed as we did our share of walking.

What a gem - we stayed in February and enjoyed waking up to the chorus of songbirds and the feel of the jungle was absolutely amazing. The toads could also be heard at night which made it feel magical. The cottage is very private and quiet surrounded by lush rainforest and very attractive and comfortable. We enjoyed the dipping pool although it was not heated but it was still warm enough to hop in.(74 degrees February) We had everything we needed and the neighborhood is stunning. Daily walks by the beautiful golf courses down towards Hanalie Bay. Cottage is very comfortable and inviting . Definitely recommend especially if you don’t like the hotel/condo experience .

Secluded and private, so gorgeous! Truly felt like a home at the end of a busy day exploring Kauai. So comfortable and has everything you need. Check in and check out was very easy. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay at PaliUli #8, it truly is a beautiful location, tucked away from everything, while still having so much so close by. The house was well equipped and exactly what our family needed. Thanks for a great stay.
